“When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women” ~ Fulton Sheen

“This at last is bone of my bones
    and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
    because she was taken out of Man.”

Genesis 2:23

“To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.”

Genesis 3:16

“Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered.”

1 Peter 3:7

“Therefore an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,”

1 Timothy 3:2

Often the father is his daughter's first great love. In this case, at least until she falls in love with a young man, she wants her future husband to be like her father. But what about sons? The father-son relationship is equally unique and requires the father to be very respectful of the son's own nature in terms of interests and character. He must not demand that he be or become what he is or what he wishes his child to be. "Fathers, do not embitter your children, lest they lose heart." (Col 3:21)

A song sung for Jesus from Mary's perspective. 🤍😢

I didn't know how much this would hurt
When I saw you play in the dirt
When I watched you climbing the trees
Didn't know you would climb one for me
For me...

If I sing your lullaby
Will you hear my voice
I know you are the lamb of God
The bruised and broken son I love
Somehow you will deliver us
But you're still my little boy...
